Matthew 5:21-48
Principles number one: It is the s_______ of the law that matters primarily, and not the l__________ only!
The law was never meant to be mechanical, but rather l___________!
II Corinthians 3:6 “the letter killeth, but the spirit gives life...”
The whole purpose of the letter is to give body to the spirit, and the spirit is that which really matters.
Now, again, that does not mean that the letter is not important, but it does mean that we must put the Spirit first, and interpret the letter in light of the Spirit.
Principles number two: “Conformity to the law must not be thought of in terms of a_____________ only.”
... thoughts, motives, and desires are equally important, when considering what we do!
it is easy to do the actions and not have the heart or the spirit, but it is i_____________ to have the heart or spirit, and not have the a__________.
Luke 16:15 “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight.”
Principles number three is; “The law must not only be thought of in a n ___________ way, but in a p_________ as well”
the real intent of the law was not to prevent our doing things that were wrong, that is i_____________, but its real objective is for us to do what is right, and ultimately, to l__________ doing it!
Principles number four: the purpose of the law, as expounded by Christ here, is not to keep us in bondage to a set of rules, but to f_______ us in Christ to develop our spiritual c___________________.
if we regard the teachings of the New Testament as something that cramps us, if we think that it is something that is narrow and restrictive, then we have never really understood it!
Principles number five: ..... is that The law of God, including these before us, as well as all the rest in the Bible, must never be regarded as an e______ in themselves.
The ultimate objective of all this teaching is that you and I might c________ to k_____________ G______!
